While the NFL world waits for the Philadelphia Eagles to decide whether they will take any trade offer for star wide receiver A.J. Brown, another receiver in the league has been moved from his team.
News broke that the Chicago Bears traded their wide receiver, DJ Moore, and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick. Moore, alongside Brown, has been involved in trade rumors all season, so it comes as no surprise.
The Bills were a team linked to Brown trade talks over the last two months, but it appears they are completely out of the Brown sweepstakes. So, what does this all mean for the Eagles and Brown?
Breaking down the implications of DJ Moore's trade and what it means for the Eagles
Honestly, this is a massive win for the Eagles. While the Bills will be out of the race to trade for Brown, it does vindicate his trade value.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman had reportedly told teams it would be a first and second-round pick for Brown. Many teams have balked at the asking price, wanting something lower, but the Bills and Bears demonstrated that Brown should indeed get a first- and second-round pick for him.
Moore has never been a Pro Bowler or All-Pro in his career. In fact, the 2025 season was the first time he even made the playoffs in his career.
Brown, on the other hand, has been to three Pro Bowls, is a three-time second-team All-Pro, has been to two Super Bowls, and won one. Seems like asking for first- and second-round picks is feasible now that the Bears got a second-round pick for Moore.

Roseman must be feeling pretty good about himself as he stands firm on the compensation he needs for Brown. The question is: will he hold strong on it or cave to another offer?
